KDE.org has recently released version 3.1rc6.  I'd 
like to upgrade my
default installation of KDE in SuSE Linux 8.1 
Professional to the release
candidate.  This requires updating the Qt libraries as 
well to version
3.1.1.  I can successfully configure/compile the 
source for the Qt library,
but I'm confused about maintaining the RPM database.  
Even after I execute
the 'make install' and my new Qt is installed, YaST 
still registers version
3.0.5 in the RPM database.  I realize building Qt from 
the sources has
nothing to do with the RPM database and that 
checkinstall can assist in
creating an RPM package, but what kind of other 
conflicts will I be creating
if I ever want to use YaST again to install software 
from the CD's?  The
same question applies for KDE 3.1rc6 
(configure/compile OK, what about the
RPM database)?  Any suggestions on a 'proper' way to 
do this?  Though SuSE produces some very stable 
packages, I would like to attempt the upgrade myself, 
therefore, updating from the sources would be great.

Thanks to all who can assist,

Fox
